tair girls, but why girls, like the swat.
lows, fit from point 20 point, has not
been so satisfactorily answered. Fit
/ they do, and now is the season when they
become birds of passage. Some lie to

but ell, if judged by preparations made
and pleasures anticipated, bent on mis-
chief, and woe to the unwsry who step
| into the snare.
/ The formidable Saratoga is well packed,
and what has my dame within its caps-
/ cious bounds? For mountain climbing or
for seashore rGmble there must be the
flannel dress, easy fitting, that movement
may be unemoarrassed. Many of these
costumes have the skirt made OF straight
| breadths, with g loose blouse waist fall
/ ing well over the hips, gathered on g
draw string; around the waist
is narrow sash tied at one
side. The sleeves are fulled into
wide wrist bands, and q sailor collar
with revers on the front, and chem-
settle of the sane material finish this
useful dress. ii sailor straw hat to match
in color completes the outfit, that is, IN
less it IS tor mOuntGin climbing, then the
Wearer must have the Alpen stock with
silver mountings that render it an orna-
mental appendage. Ia making, some
times for collar, cuff and Chemisette, the
stripped flannel IS uses, the stripes run
ming crosswise. Cream white serge is
considered most stylish, il trimmed with
braid to match.

dinner recently given by one of the ultra
fashionable, in which white pervaded
everything, the guests, the table decora-
ton, the tavors, the flowers, all were
white, and it was neither bridal break
fast nor q funeral feast.
But "Revenous nos moutCGs'' -'twas
dress not dinners, that formed the topic
Of the talk.
Pretty indoor dresses are needed, ard
can be eliminated from muslin, Saline or
foulard, trimmed with lace and velvet,
with full sleeves and draped apron. A
peep into one of these Saratogas revealed
sn attractive summer dress. II was of
figured blue and white fOulard, plain blue
canvas cloth and silk of the ssme shade.
On this dress both basque and drapery
were of the figured goods large white
q Y shaped plsstron was set, composed
of plain blue silk. This plas ron was
hidden beneath d covering Of cream-cOl-
ored lace, and the same tffeCt-silk
foundation with lace abovC-vss repro
duccd on the cuffs and collar. The can
vas cloth skirt y7ss killed with 4 silk foot
plating, and the front drap,ry cf foulard

The drapery at the back was not quite
long enough to conceal the SKIRT, out fell
in three deep points.
The matrOn on the piazza, surrounded by
q bevy of girls, likes something q little
more comfortable and not Incompatible
with neatness and beauty. The dress is
made of any soft and delicate material,
such as cashmere, ard is quite loose,
scarcely fitting to the form at al, except
at the waist, where il is COnfUed by a
broad ribbon sash. The from. is laid a.
ternately in broad box plaits and in mar
rover clusters OF plaits; the box plaits
are detached from the bust to the bottom
of the garment, and it is beneath these
plaits that the broad satin RIBBON is
passed, hanging in 3 loose bow st the
left hip. The cuffs and loose sailor col
very pretty in foulard, with trimmings of
velvet.

and finished with three rows of braid.
Jersey bathing suits are worn and pre-

In making full skirts it is well to have

side and back seams of the full skirt TO
